We went resale in a mature estate (Bishan) in 2024 and I don't regret it, even though we paid COV of about 30k on top. The math: BTO would h…
Two kids, so I know this well. Two separate things. One, the Baby Bonus Cash Gift is paid out to you in instalments over the early years, st…
My advice: since none lock you in, just try the cheapest heavy-data option first (usually Simba on promo) with an eSIM so switching is insta…
We kept things mostly separate for the first few years and it worked fine because we both earned similar and had no kids. But the moment we …
I used to blurt out my current salary and it capped every offer. Now I frame it around total package. I say something like: 'My current tota…
My take might differ, I found it liberating rather than isolating, but I'm quite thick-skinned about what others think. Yes, aunties gave me…
Cross to JB almost monthly by car, so learned this the hard way. Timing is everything. AVOID Friday evening and Saturday morning going in, a…
I ran the numbers properly for my own family. A typical new Cat A car all-in (COE 100k, car price, road tax, insurance, parking, petrol, mai…

Same wake-up call at 34. What worked for me was small sustainable swaps, not extremes. I switched from kopi to kopi-o kosong or teh-o kosong…
Cleared IPPT after years of failing, so I feel your pain. Real talk: the RT (RT/FCC) is honestly not as scary as the dread. It is a fixed nu…
Switched to an MVNO SIM-only plan two years ago, never looked back, but let me give the honest nuance. The MVNOs (the budget brands) actuall…

We had the same tension and honestly I had to let go of a lot of control, which was hard for me as a first-time parent. My realisation was t…

I moved to a SIM-only plan two years ago and never looked back, but do check your usage first. I was paying for way more data than I actuall…
From my experience, it depends on urgency and your budget. Polyclinics are subsidised and much cheaper, especially for citizens and PRs, but…
I turned down a counter-offer and I'm glad I did. The classic pattern is: they match your salary now because replacing you is expensive and …
